My Friends and future aspirants of medicine in china... please be advised by the following!!

1. As per provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 read with Eligibility Certificate Regulations 2002 and Screening Test Regulations, 2002, an Indian student intending to study medicine in any medical college, anywhere in the world for an undergraduate medical course (MBBS) has to obtain an eligibility certificate from the Medical Council of India, New Delhi before joining the medical college abroad. After the successful completion of the course, the student is required to appear for a screening test conducted by the National Board of Examination (http://www.natboard.org) as required by the Medical Council of India (http://www.mciindia.org) prior to the registration with the Medical Council of India. The academic requirement for the eligibility certificate as stipulated by the Medical Council of India for the general category of students is an aggregate 50% marks in the Physics / Chemistry and Biology and for the reserved category of students (SC/ ST/OBC) 40%- aggregate marks in PCB. Further details could be obtained from the Medical Council of India, either from their office in New Delhi or downloaded from their official website. The responsibility of obtaining the eligibility certificate, as required by the Medical Council of India, rests with the student.

Post Graduate courses are not registered with the Medical Council of India or the Dental Council of India. Since you would be doing your specialization from an University, which is listed by the WHO in its "Directory of world medical schools", you would be eligible to appear for screening examinations like USMLE, PLAB etc.

2. Medical Colleges were established by the PR Government of China. It is recognized by the Medical Council of China. The name of Medical Colleges appears in the World Registry of Medical Schools published by the World Health Organization and Medical Council of India issues Eligibility Certificates. The Indian students graduating from the College are eligible to write MCI Screening Test. The Medical Colleges were established in the early 90’s and since then more than 5000 students have graduated and they are practicing as Doctors. When the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 are read in conjunction with the Screening Test Regulations and Eligibility Certificate Regulations 2002 of MCI, the Medical College were a recognized Medical Institution and the degree awarded by Medical Colleges, were a recognized Medical Qualification, in accordance with law. Please visit official website of World Health Organization. www.who.int/hrh/wdms/media/en/china.pdf, for reference.

MCI is not vested with any authority to approve or disapprove any foreign degree. But they conduct a screening test & allow successful candidates to register with them & practice in India. Only those students, who have obtained eligibility certificates before joining the Medical College in a foreign country, are allowed to write the Screening Test after successful completion of the course.

3. The medium of teaching is English. Students coming from various countries know Basic English language for communication. However when the students move into market place they need to know the local language for easy communication, which they learn within few months of their stay in China. Since year 2004 the English medium intake started in Medical Colleges.

4. It is mandatory to learn the local language (Chinese).

HSK is Chinese language Proficiency Test which the student has to clear when he/she wants to study in China.

HSK is the abbreviation for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (Chinese proficiency test). Yes. The student has to pass the HSK test before completion of the course.

Though the medium of instruction is English, the students will have to study the Chinese Language in order to communicate with the patients in the clinics apart from nurses / doctors, from 5th semester onwards. Hence every day 1-hour coaching is given in Chinese language right from the 1st semester. This is necessary since from the beginning of third year the student starts his clinical subjects which would require him/her to attend the clinics and hospitals and he/she would have to interact with the local patients and nurses. It helps him during clinical sessions and at the time of interacting with the patients/nurses in the hospitals. However all lectures (concerning medical subjects) throughout, are delivered in English and the textbooks are also in English.

5. The university is run on non-commercial basis and is established by the Government of China. The education is affordable in China.Thus, the prices are relatively lot lower in China compared to India.

6. transfer is possible to other university / country. But it depends on syllabus covered, medium of teaching, semester covered, marks secured etc. It also depends from college to college.

The basic condition of transfer is concurrence (similarity) of programs of both colleges. For the China higher education establishments, programs of training are authorized by the state and coincide at schools of the same type. Transfer is carried out by the written declaration of the student in accordance with established procedure.

By transfer from foreign university the student should send the program of training (subjects, quantity of attended hours, marks secured) and to confirm, that he/she has no debits or arrears from this period of training.

However we also caution the students who are desirous of seeking transfer from one college to another that since they have obtained the eligibility certificate from MCI after specifically mentioning the name of the college / university / country where they want to pursue studies, they should not encounter any sort of difficulty or problem at the time of writing screening test or getting registration with MCI.

I hope you all find this necessary info helpful..if you have any doubts..please feel free to ask me anytime as I also am a student studying in China!
